Bible Question: submission |
Bible Answer: Greetings Begbie, You asked a question about submission. Perhaps Jesus said it best in Matthew 20:26.. Matthew 20:26 "It is not this way among you, but whoever wishes to become great among you shall be your servant," So, if we want to be "great", or a "great Christian" or "approved", then we really do have to submit to each other in love, regarding "one another as more important than yourselves" (Phil. 2:3), and not looking to our own personal interests, but to the interests of others (Phil. 2:4). Once we have met all of the needs of everyone around us - sharing and growing in our faith together with believers and being an example of Christ to the world - then we can really know (and exhibit) the true meaning of submission. Blessings to you, Makarios |
